" The fastest production front-driver in the world is the Renault Sport Megane R.S. 275 Trophy-R, which set a Nordschleife time of 7:54:36. Nothing changes that\u2014this Mini JCW is most decidedly modified, so it can&amp;#039;t claim the production car record. But it can, and does, claim to have beaten the Megane Trophy-R by a full 10 seconds, at 7:44 and some change. RELATED: 2015 Honda Civic Type R Nurburgring record attempt      Driven by German magazine Sport Auto heel Christian Gebhardt, the Mini was boosted to 286 hp for the run and put power down through a Drexler LSD and Dunlop Direzza 03G semi-slicks (basically race slicks with the barest hint of streetability). To put that in perspective, that&amp;#039;s faster than the Pagani Zonda S and a bunch of similar several-year-old supercars. Mighty impressive, no matter which driven wheels the thing used.    via Jalopnik  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
